2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or
nonstick baking mats. Using an electric mixer at low speed, cream
the shortening and sugar until thoroughly combined. Add the egg
